Colts TE Saunders gets eight-game ban

New York, NY (Sports Network) - The National Football League has suspended
Indianapolis Colts tight end Weslye Saunders for the first eight games of the
2013 season for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing
substances.

It's the standard penalty for a second offense. Saunders was suspended for the
first four games of the 2012 season for violating the PED policy.

Saunders will be eligible to return to the Colts' active roster on Nov. 4
following the team's Nov. 3 game against the Houston Texans.

The 24-year-old Saunders played in 11 games last season. He played in 16
contests for the Steelers in 2011.
